Friday Fragments: Episode #182

Got tidbits? Fragments? Miscellany? Here's you chance to unload them. I highly recommend it; fragging is good for the soul and a wonderful way to start the weekend. Thanks for stopping by. [First time fragmenting? Please click on the tab above and check out the particulars.]

Happy Friday! It's very happy over here, I assure you. Can't tell you why yet (I've been sworn to secrecy for another couple of weeks, and no; I'm not pregnant.) Stay tuned.

Kendall got her first "real" job! She going to work at Dairy Queen! Darn--another reason to go out for ice cream....

Mr.4444 is a self-professed "flashlight whore." He has at least ten of them, but I'm certain he'll never buy a different one than his new favorite, which he picked up at our local Batteries Plus store:

It has 235 lumens (whatever those are), and even I can't argue with its impressiveness. At $29.95, it's by far the "least-expensive, brightest flashlight" we've ever seen. Personally, I think it would make a fantastic Valentines Day for the man in your life. (Seriously; what man doesn't love flashlights?haha)

I watched the documentary, Forks Over Knives, via Netflix last week, and I'm very intrigued; I would love to try a diet free of dairy and animal products, just to see what it does for me. It's probably tough to pull off, though. What do you think? If nothing else, I recommend the movie--It's very informative.

Mr.4444 made a wonderful crock pot Pot Roast this week--It was a big hit all around, further reason why the previous fragment would likely be vetoed.

Want to know a simple way to increase your credit rating? (This tip comes from my lovely neighbor, Nancy, who is a realtor.) When you're using your debit card in a store and are given the "debit or credit?" option, choose credit. [Update: According to my friend Michelle, of Honest and Truly, this is not true! See her comment below for specifics.]

Kyle is still my friend on Facebook. The "rules" for this are: I am not allowed to comment on his wall posts or Like anything before anyone else does. Okay, got it.

Alrighty then! Now it's your turn; feel free to link up and visit some of the nicest folks I know! Have a great weekend.

Mom always said that copying is the sincerest form of flattery. In this case, she is wrong. Copying my writings/photos (without my permission) is just plain stealing. Mom might forgive you, but I won't. Don't do it.
